Michael Novak from Patriot Engineering represented the applicant. <br />Plan proposes to split the lot into two lots in the RS zoning district. Plan proposes the existing lot's frontage <br />will now be on Tavern Lane and the new lot will have frontage on Percy Rd. The required frontage is 125- <br />ft. and new Lot E1 proposes 125.58 ft., and new lot E2 proposes 184.18 ft. <br />Ms. McCabe informed the Board that the staff received the requested update to the ANR plan from the <br />applicant and reminded the applicant to comply with all the requirements including an application to the <br />Historic Districts Commission. Ms. McCabe added that Tavern Lane is an unaccepted road and the Board <br />will need to determine if the road is suitable for vehicular traffic for the proposed use. She explained the <br />new buildable lot will front on Percy Rd. which is a public way and the existing house will now have <br />frontage on Tavern Lane. The Assistant Fire Chief and planning staff went to Tavern Lane and found it to <br />be 20-ft in width along the frontage of 4 Percy Rd. and she recommends the Board find that Tavern Lane <br />is suitable for vehicular traffic and adequate to provide access for emergency vehicles. <br />Mr. Hornig wanted to know if the existing house will meet the gross floor area requirements under the <br />Zoning regulations after the reconfiguration. Mr. Novak said that they are aware it will need to comply <br />with the new GFA and the building permit will have the GFA calculation provided by an architect. Mr. <br />Hornig asked if an arrangement between the neighbors existed for the maintenance of Tavern Lane. Mr. <br />Novak was not aware of any arrangements and Mr. Hornig recommended the applicant be cooperative <br />with his neighbors for any necessary maintenance of Tavern Lane.
